I-need-feminism-because

Why is it cute and trendy for girls to wear men’s flannel shirts and baggy boy’s sweatpants, but when a boy tries to wear anything remotely close to girl’s clothes, they are considered “girly” or “gay”?

I should not be called a slut when I choose to wear my drumline hoodie. It’s my body, I earned my hoodie!

I should have never been questioned multiple times in middle school for carrying my drumsticks in the hall to the band room,when a friend next to me was carrying his and didn’t get questioned for carrying a “weapon.”

“Like a girl” should not be used as an insult for my musical talents.

I shouldn’t have to deal with the bullshit of people telling me that I will never be able to march drum corps because I have boobs!

I am tired of people doubting my abilities because of my gender.

I should not have people looking down on me in the lot at a competition.

“Oh you will never get a boyfriend since you are on drumline. Boys like quiet,reserved,ladylike girls. All you do is hit shit and hangout with guys!” Excuse me, is this the 1900s? I’ll hangout with who I want whether that be guys or girls. I’ll hit shit with the support of my boyfriend for your information.

I should not be questioned when going to get my varsity jacket that I’m a girl on drumline by a grown woman.

Being a girl who is a percussionist should not define me in a negative way.

I need feminism because all I want is to be treated as an equal…not just a girl.

This is why we DONT need feminism. Because jokes about men are ok but the exact same joke about a woman is mysoginistic and anyone who makes it should “stop breathing” in short, daddragon told logicd to kill himself, which is illegal.

A woman, I forget who, once asked her male friend why men are intimidated by women. He said that men are afraid that women will laugh at them. When this woman asked the same question of a group of her female friends, they all said the same thing: women are afraid that men will kill them.

I need feminism because before I even heard her give the women’s answer, I knew what it would be. Because that would be my answer.
